Jerrod Gooch has had to battle a run of injuries over the last couple of years that have hindered his performance on the football field and kept him out of the spotlight, but the big Texas Longhorn commit is now running at full strength for the first time in a long while.

A talented offensive line prospect out of Vidor that committed to Texas back in February, Gooch had to battle with foot issues and subsequent surgeries that limited his time on the field over the past two seasons. But he's got the problem corrected now, and he's even putting in some time on the hardcourt for the first time in three years, which is paying off with improved conditioning and footwork.
